Sentences of a paragraph are given below. While the first and the last sentences (S1 and S6) are in the correct order, the sentences in between are jumbled up and named P, Q, R, S. Arrange the sentences in the correct order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph.

(S1) Today, the world has become a much smaller place, thanks to the adventures and miracles of science.

(P) We are slowly realising that the world is a single cooperative group.

(Q) Other religions have become forces with which we have to reckon, and we are seeking for ways and means by which we can live together in peace and harmony.

(R) Mingling of population is bringing about interchange of thought.

(S) Foreign nations have become our next-door neighbours.

(S6) We cannot have religious unity and peace so long as we assert that we are in possession of the light and all others are groping in the darkness.

The correct answer is: S, R, P, Q

Key Points

• The paragraph starts by stating that science has made the world a smaller place.
• Sentence S talks about the increased interconnectedness and global nature of the world.
• Sentence R talks about how the mingling of population leads to an interchange of thought, which is relevant to the topic.
• Sentence P talks about how the world is becoming a single cooperative group, which builds on the idea of the world becoming smaller.
• Sentence Q talks about the need for peace and harmony among different religions, which is a relevant topic in today's globalized world.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1.
